I’ve been a bad blogger…

And haven’t updated this site-or any of my blogs-through much of December. The Christmas blues hit early and hard this year and I went through 2 weeks of bawling every day. Sigh. I am so glad Christmas is over.

My mother decided on no family dinner (which just helped the depression) and they came over Christmas Eve to give us our gifts. I had made a bunch of baked goods and we had fondue and coffee. Very good-but we were left with so much leftovers. Took some to my sisters and some to the in-laws but it was just too much. I thought some of the siblings would be coming over and they decided not to-maybe I should have sent some home with my mom.

New Year’s isn’t going to be much. Chris has to work third shift tonight so we’ll toast with some soda pop and start the new year that way. I am looking forward to doing more baking in the next few weeks and as December wasn’t too baking-friendly. Also, I hope to be doing some photos of what’s on my stove. Because I’m not a big fan of how WordPress makes my pictures seem I’ve been putting some on my photoblog: 1001 Pics. Head on over and check it out. I plan to add some more photos in the next few days but right now there’s photos of tacos on it.

So-I’m going to go figure out what’s for dinner and find some Tylenol’s. Have a great day!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it

Lack of internet really got me behind on the blog. Let’s just pick up where we are now. I’ve got some recipes I’ve tried that I may get on here. This week, we’ve been blessed with some groceries from the in-laws so I’ve been able to get creative. We have roughly 17 days between paychecks so the extra food really helps the budget. God has been really good in providing, as always.

I hope to post my menu plan this afternoon or tomorrow. I have to work today and then deal with my check and get groceries. Tonight is left over night though so I won’t have to cook too much. I hope to get the onion and green peppers chopped up so it’s easier to use them. Oh, and I have a cake to make. I can’t get my sister anything for her birthday so I thought I would make a cake and take it up to her work.

Have a great day!
